This is possibly worse than Australian politicians getting involved in who gets grants. Just remove all social science funding completely… how is this allowed?
Dr Tara McAllisterAs a scientist who has a Marsden through the social sciences panel this is so so so fucked up. It will have massive implications for Māori research being funded.
Hmm, watch this space. Might be bye bye for many NZ scientists to Aotearoa
Associate Professor Siouxsie WilesIt’s a dark day for research in Aotearoa New Zealand and the ramifications for the country are huge. Minister Judith Collins has just announced our blue-skies funder will no longer fund humanities & social science research and that 50% of what is funded must have economic benefit.
This is teaching part of some of the material put together by @scor-cobs.bsky.social members. Should be good! We will also run one at ITRS in France too

Workshops – 25th International Seaweed Symposiumiss25.comEvery wondered where you can get good resources for marine climate change research, including papers, workshop events, video resources for training and teaching? Here is a working group devoted to that:
Changing Ocean Biological Systems working groupHello all! We're a working group studying how interacting drivers (or "multiple stressors") like temperature, acidification, etc. shape marine life. Follow us for new research and workshops, as well as tools to improve experimental design, data analysis, mathematical models, and more. 🌊
